唐顿庄园第二季第五集_4
DR CLARKSON
Right. They‘re here.
LADY SYBIL
May I stay to settle him in？
DR CLARKSON
Very well.
LADY MARY
I want to help， too.
DR CLARKSON
Lady Mary， I appreciate your good intentions， but I’m concerned that Captain Crawley‘s condition may be very distressing for you. Might I suggest that you hang back until the nurses have tidied him up a little？
LADY MARY
I’m not much good at hanging back， I‘m afraid. I won’t get in your way， I promise. But I will stay. You have volunteers， don‘t you？ Well， that’s what I am. A volunteer.
DR CLARKSON
All right. Everyone to their posts！
LADY SYBIL (to Mary)
You stand there.
DR CLARKSON
Yes， this gentleman‘s second in.
NURSE
Yes， Doctor.
[Mary stares at Matthew as they bring him in.]
DR CLARKSON
Number two， Nurse Crawley， here. Yes. Yes， just here. Gently， gently， gently.
LADY SYBIL
Yes， sir. Take him under his feet.
[Mary， Sybil， and a stretcher bearer lift Matthew onto the hospital bed.]
LADY SYBIL
Cousin Matthew， can you hear me？
STRETCHER BEARER
He’s breathing， but he‘s not been conscious since we’ve had him. We filled him full of morphine .
LADY SYBIL (nods)
Thank you.
[Mary looks at the card attached to Matthew‘s shirt.]
LADY SYBIL
What does it say？
LADY MARY
Probable spinal damage.
[They exchange a worried look.]
LADY SYBIL
It could mean anything. We’ll know more in the morning.
[Sybil picks up Matthew‘s uniform and Mary’s stuffed dog falls out.] LADY SYBIL
What‘s this doing here？
LADY MARY
I gave it to him for luck. He was probably carrying it when he fell.
LADY SYBIL
If only it had worked.
LADY MARY
He’s alive， isn‘t he？
LADY SYBIL
I should wash him. This bit can be grim. Sometimes we have to cut off the clothes they’ve travelled in， and there‘s bound to be a lot of blood.
LADY MARY (nods)
How hot should the water be？
LADY SYBIL
Warm more than hot. And bring some towels.
[INT. DOWNTON - DAY]
[Daisy peers through a window at the stretcher bearers carrying William into a bedroom.]
[INT. SERVANTS’ STAIRCASE - DAY]
THOMAS
You should never have told her Bates was here.
O‘BRIEN
Don’t I know it. And she was even worse after she‘d seen him than before， ranting on about a scandal that would bring the roof down on the house of Grantham. Silly .
THOMAS
What scandal？
O’BRIEN
I thought she‘d just come up and take a bite out of Bates. That’s what it sounded like.
THOMAS
Then you should‘ve asked more questions. You know what they say， the devil is in the detail.
O’BRIEN
I‘m not standing by while she brings misery and ruin on my lady.
THOMAS
You started it.
O’BRIEN
Oh， yes， you‘re very important， aren’t you？ Very know-it-all with all of us at your beck and call.
THOMAS
I‘m sorry if you’re angry， but don‘t take it out on me. You did it.
[INT. LADY MARY’S BEDROOM - EVENING]
LADY MARY
Whom is she going to sell it to？
ANNA
She didn‘t say. Just that there was nothing we could do to stop her. Mr Bates has given her every last penny to keep her quiet， but she’s tricked him， and now he‘s got nothing left to bargain with.
LADY MARY
Well， we both know what I must do.
ANNA
But how can you ask Sir Richard for help without telling him the truth？
LADY MARY
I’d rather he heard it from my lips that read it over his breakfast.
ANNA
Suppose he won‘t do anything？ Suppose he throws you over？
LADY MARY
That’s a risk I‘ll have to take. I’ll go up to London tomorrow afternoon. It‘s a request th at demands to be made in person.
ANNA
What about Mr Matthew？
LADY MARY
Miss Swire will be here to keep him company. I think I can take some time off to save my own neck.
